KANSAS CITY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect on multiple allegations after a wild incident at a Kansas City area school.
Just before 11a.m. Friday, staff from the Missouri City public K-8 school called 911 about a man wearing only underwear trying to break into the school, according to the Clay County Sheriff's office.
The suspect was able to break out glass and enter through the initial entry door.The suspect was not, however, able to make it through the second set of doors and remained in the vestibule, never entering the school.
Staff placed the school on lockdown. An administrator was injured by broken glass as she tried to prevent the man from getting into the school.
When he could not get through the second set of doors, the suspect left and walked down the street, where one witness reported he may have tried to break into houses.
Deputies arrived, and when they tried to stop him, the suspect fought deputies, punching one of them. Deputies deployed a Taser, which had no effect. They were eventually able to get the suspect into custody.The suspect appeared to be under the influence of narcotics and was unarmed. The sheriff's office released no additional details Friday afternoon.
